Average bloom dates for low-chill peaches of various chilling groups at Gainesville, Fla., depends on the amount of chilling and heat units received. Full bloom dates for the 4 standard cultivars 'Okinawa', 'Sunred', 'Early Amber', and 'Sunlite', (representing 150, 250, 350 and 450 chill units, respectively) averaged about 10 days apart over the 35 years. The order of bloom from low to high chilling groups has no reversals in the last 35 years indicating the order of bloom is dependent upon chilling requirement. However, the dates of full bloom and the days separating full bloom of the standard genotype for each chill unit group vary each year.
